  1. After auditioning at a live show for a classic rock band, I got the gig. The next night we had a show up north and were all going to pile into the leader's van for the trip.

     

    Second show, we arrived at a Holiday Inn lounge and I started to set up my rig. A few of the members wandered off and returned dressed in cowboy outfits.

     

    The leader asked me: "Where's your hat?"

     

    I stood there in my torn Led Zep shirt and my jaw hanging open.

     

    It turns out the band did both kinds of music, Rock and Country.

     

    I couldn't name 3 country songs to save my life, back then. So, they shouted out the chords for each tune and I mucked through it somehow. I tried to quit the band, but they begged me to stay until they found a replacement. I ended up stuck in that band for 6 more months and we never did another Rock show in that time.

     

    Ironically, the drummer had joined them after a live audition at a Jazz lounge, and got sucked into playing Country 5 nights a week too.

     

    What was the worst thing i ever heard? "Where's your hat?" has to be on top of that list.
